    We had a fish pond in Ecuador and we used to use a big piece of netting between two of us to sweep from one side to the other, that way all the fish ended up in the net or at least in a smaller part of the pool!

    Now you are ready for a drip irrigation system in your garden! You will cut your watering usage to 1/3 of what you are using now. :)
    You need a pressure reducer in your drip irrigation line now. From the totes on the hill you are way over pressure. The brand name you will find is Senninger and 20 or 25 PSI is the maximum pressure for that type of drip irrigation. You may need several depending on how many drip lines you are have.

    At 13:20 where you are working to fix the leaky valve. You want to scrub all of the surfaces clean of dirt and debris (everything) so that you get a good compression fit. A leak of that sort is a result of some type of dirt trapped between mating parts and the rubber gasket. You can't fix it until you clean away all of the possible contaminants. A scrub brush and some soapy water will work just fine. The same holds true for anytime you are reusing old pipe or fittings. For pipe - clean it thoroughly at the joint. For fittings, take them completely apart, scrub them in soapy water (especially the valve ball and the sealing gaskets and rinse in clean water. Then inspect all components for damage as you reassemble.
    With drip irrigation, nothing is more frustrating than clogged emitters. Best practice is to install a filter just ahead of your water supply to the drip irrigation lines. 120 mesh if you opt for stainless steel screen (least expensive, recycled by cleaning indefinitely) is what you need. Filters are not very expensive. One housing is often used for mesh and cartridge filters. Just look closely at the arrow (direction of flow) and it will identify the direction for the filter you have chosen.
    At the top of the hill (just below the containers on the main line, I would suggest an 80 mesh screen to remove the big particles in your entire system..
    The steel wrench is called a "channel lock" in English. The rubber strap wrench is simple a "strap wrench". I would suggest using the channel lock on your faceted fittings and the strap wrench on your round pipe or any round or slippery surface where you are having trouble getting a grip. You will find silicone grease with swimming pool supplies. You will need a sand or diatomaceous earth filter for you pool. I would suggest a sand filter. Also, some sort of chlorine metering device. I use 3" round chlorine tablets and meter a little chlorine all of the time to prevent algae. For a pool that size you will need a filter that can maintain 30,000 gallons ( 114,000 liters) guesstimating, You can measure it and get a more precise capacity. Go oversize with your filter, not undersize.

      @@LittleSpanishFarmstead My pleasure! Swimming pool plumbers use it all the time. That's the only trade I have seen use the stuff. It works. Just don't drop the fitting in the dirt because the silicone grease picks up everything it touches.

    when I was younger, we were fortunate to have an in-ground pool with a filtration system and all. opening the filter components to wash them out was an absolute nightmare, but that strap tool for extra grip (we called that a vice grip) was the best addition to loosening the fittings. el pico de loro looks like really big plumbers pliers or similar. definitely agree that those are best friends of a tightener :)

    I've just about finished my first solo woodworking project - built a small box shelf for a file in my kitchen - out of reclaimed bed slats someone in my building was throwing out. Only handsaws for me at this stage. I have thought of you Harriet, doing this. You inspired me to get cracking with more of my own DIY projects. I'm a little less creative and a bit more 'planning/drawing it out' than you though.🤣
